Count on Me

0 upcoming performances in New York

Bruno Mars’s “Count on Me” is a Rock/Pop ballad that leans on folk and island-inflected rhythms to frame a simple idea: friendship as a promise kept in ordinary moments. Written by Mars with Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine, it favors direct language over ornament, which is part of its durability in public singalongs. It has no specific New York City premiere history on record, but it has circulated widely in the city’s school programs and community events as a non-denominational anthem of support. At NJPAC, in a holiday concert led by CeCe Winans, its message sits comfortably beside seasonal repertoire built on reassurance and shared care.
